John Delcos enters his third season covering the Mets for The Journal News after eight seasons on the Yankees beat. Prior to coming to New York, John covered the Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Indians.

The thing that would bring my smile ear to ear is if some of whatever got into Beltran got into Delgado for the next 2 months. If both of them are hot, Wright and Alou stay hot, and Reyes and Castillo continue their ways it could be very special and “meaningful” September.

Delgado is the frustrating one to me. And the reason is i watch his atbats and he just gets himself out. He still can get it done its not his age it is his mind. When he’s patient he rakes to left center and right so that tells me he can still get his 30+ hr’s and 110 rbi he’s just not patient. But i still believe in him. I never counted my Mets out like some people did last week with the loss to pitt. Sometimes teams need loses like that to focus even more. When this team is healthy next month LOOK OUT !!!!
